I have seven years of caregiving/ CNA experience and still hold my CNA license. My personality traits that contribute to being a great caregiver include, being passionate for helping others, energetic and empathetic, honest, dependable and clear communication. I have always had the desire to help others and I thought working in Healthcare as a caregiver would fulfill my desires which I am glad I chose this path as I find it very satisfying and rewarding. What I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is being able to be there for someone in their time of need as well as getting to know the person.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
